About event
Manon meurt
"Their music blurs all genres in itself - dream-pop vibes, vehement grunge riffs, free jazz and all electronic genres. It was played absolutely perfectly, a great rendition of one of the best albums of the year."
- James Thornhill, Under The Radar
"It's not often that a rock band sounds so unique, absolutely fluid through a set , at the same time it was emotional. A stunning and transcendent experience.”
- Kevin Cole, KEXP
Beauty, noise and tremors. Manon meurt are masters of contrasts between quiet and noisy passages and are also typical of the epic gradations of their songs. They have been on the scene since 2012 and the current lineup consists of drummer Jiří Bendl, singer, guitarist and bassist Kateřina Elznicová, keyboardist David Tichý and guitarist Kryštof Korčák.
After the eponymous debut EP, their first album MMXVIII from 2018 was produced by the legendary Jan P. Muchow. The recording was nominated for the Apollo Czech Critics Award and the Anděl Award in the Alternative and Electronic Music category.
For their new album, the band once again teamed up with a strong producer personality - British musician and producer Eddie Stevens, who is known for his collaborations with Moloko, Zero 7, Róisín Murphy and Jana Kirschner.
The band, which for several years built its sound on the ruins of shoegaze and the influence of bands like Slowdive, Lush or Ride, moves forward with the new record and deviates from the original nineties inspirations. The new sound of Manon meurt surprises with the ease of natural intermingling of genres - from trip hop to grunge, to ambient folk with dives into the swirling chaos of dream pop. It is the result of the band's creative shift and dynamic collaboration with Stevens. The new album Unravel was released on April 26, 2024 on Minority Records.

The Ills
Two guitars, bass, drums and none singing. The Ills suffer from a dense and noisy sound, refined by complementary guitar licks and captivating bass lines.
The Ills are classified in the post-rock box, but in their instrumental compositions you can also find elements of shoegaze, math rock or prog rock. They are mainly characterized by live performances, in which musical mastery and intimate passages are combined with even punk-like spontaneity and metal hardness.
The band has released five albums so far. After the debut To Wish Impossible Things (2010) and the award-winning recordings Splendor (2012), Zoya (2014), Ornamental or Mental (2016), Disco Volante / Mt. Average (2019). The sixth studio album, Life Is Random, was released in May 2024. On February 29, DJ Kevin Cole premiered the first single from the announced album on the cult American station KEXP and described the track as an "epic, transcendental math rock masterpiece!"

Marjari
Alternative singer Marjari from České Budějovice the layers of guitar sequences recorded on a looper complemented by her fragile vocals are the most descriptive.
In 2022 Marjari released her debut LP "Hey Girl". On the album Hey Girl, the author is based on her personal experiences, feelings and moods. It is a mixture of intimate songs that, despite the uniform author's handwriting and captivating voice, bring a diverse palette of moods and atmospheres. From soft and romantic, through melancholic and dreamy, to darker and harder songs.
